And now it is "I'd use Linux if it had more games."

Seriously though, now that we have some games hopefully more will follow.

1.36% is not as bad as it sounds. It's more than Windows 8, if I'm not mistaken. And the amount of Mac users actually gaming on Steam is not that much more.

Plus, this is 1.36% of an estimated 45 million users.

Which would mean well over half a million Linux based steam users. Yeah, that's pretty impressive.

I still am seeing posts from Steam users who note that they've been surveyed on Steam for Windows (multiple times, even), but not on Steam for Linux -- is this reporting bias, or is there still a glitch in the survey software?
